Madam’s Identities Shocks the Entire City Again

"Um."

The old woman sitting in the courtyard is playing with a piece of porcelain. The blue and white porcelain exudes a soft luster under natural light and has a delicate glaze. It can be seen that what she is holding is a rare and famous antique.

She is tall and thin, has a cold temperament, and has prominent bones and clear outlines. She is born with a special nobility, and she can easily give people an "unhuman" feeling.

Although she is old, it does not affect her outstanding temperament, and her graceful demeanor is different from ordinary people.

Shadow walked up to her and hesitated before he could speak.

Nie Qingru raised her eyelids slightly and waved to him: "Come, come and take a look for me."

"Yes." Shadow obediently approached.

Nie Qingru raised the porcelain in his hand and asked him with a smile on his face: "What do you think of this vase? Will Qixing like it?"

Shadow didn't dare to take a closer look. He only looked at it briefly before lowering his eyes and stepped back respectfully: "Young Master Qi likes to collect antiques. He should like the gift you selected for him."

"Um."

Nie Qingru's eyes fell on the blue and white porcelain. The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became. He slowly put the porcelain back on the table, and his eyes gradually returned to their usual sharpness.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Shadow looked up secretly and saw her wiping her fingertips, and immediately lowered her head: "It's about Leonard."

Nie Qingru paused in wiping his hands and looked sideways: "Huh?"

Shadow didn't dare to beat around the bush: "Ji Ziyin was taken away by Lei Ting! Her relatives found us and wanted us to help her."

"Hmph!" Nie Qingru sneered indifferently: "I thought she was so clean that she was discovered so quickly?"

She cares a little more.

"How did the Leonard family discover her?"

Shadow knew that she would be angry if he told her, but he had to mention that name: "It's... Qiao Nian."

really.

As soon as Shadow mentioned Qiao Nian's name.

The sneer on Nie Qingru's lips faded away, her eyes became gloomy, and the air around her became much colder: "It's her again."

"..." Shadow didn't dare to answer.

Nie Qingru had no intention of admiring the precious blue and white porcelain antiques on the table. He threw the silk scarf for wiping his hands on the table and said with a cold face and cold eyes: "Go and test the tone of the Leonard family."

"...If you can release them, let them handle them gently in my name and save Ji Ziyin's life!"

Although Shadow couldn't agree with her way of handling it, he knew why Nie Qingru did what he did: "Yes."

…

Half an hour later.

The shadow is back.

He walked up to Nie Qingru again this time and lowered his head: "Queen, the Leonard family said... this time it involves their family's private affairs, and I hope you will not interfere."

Nie Qingru was pruning the flower branches leisurely. When he heard this, he used the scissors in his hand and cut a peony flower in full bloom up to the waist. The flower fell to the ground, causing the petals to scatter.

When Shadow saw the flowers falling on the ground, he held his breath even more, maintaining a humble stance, always hunched over, lowering his head and not daring to look directly at Nie Qingru.

After a brief pause, Nie Qingru picked up the scissors again and trimmed the branch growing next to it, and said quietly: "If they don't want to, forget it."

"It's just Ji Ziyin, there's no need for me to plan for her."

"..."

Shadow didn't say anything, nor did he interrupt.

He actually understood why the Queen planned to take advantage of Ji Ziyin before. It was just to make Qiao Nian unhappy and to displease the direct descendants of the Ji family.
